>Dear Team Thicko...

>My husband and I just purchased (yesterday) a 1967 Sprite Mark VI -
>Venicle #ABL056606. It has been sitting up in a shelter for about 6
>years and, believe it or not, it runs. In fact, it hasn't got anything
>we can find that's SERIOUSLY wrong with it...just a number of small
>problems we need to work on. There's some rust but not much. The top
>and tonneau have rotted away and several "things" had built a couple of
>nests in it - one in the trunk and one in the engine. Some of the
>repair work was very jerry-rigged. And someone did a paint job that
>looks as though they went out in the back yard with a couple of cans of
>Kryon. But the fact that it runs makes it a steal at only $1,100!
> Our main problem is...we live in Valdosta, Georgia -15 miles from the
>Florida line and right on I-75. Where do we find parts in this area?
> Also, my husband has a restored 1965 Chevy Impala and he doesn't know
>much about these little cars, although he can't wait to learn. Any
>suggestions about the best book to cover restoration information?
> We'd appreciate any info you have. I had a 1969 Sprite, purchased new
>in 1971 with only 40 miles on it, and I have missed it since my ex sold
>it in 1974! I can't WAIT!
> Thanks for any guidance!
